Ron and Harry followed the crowd and ran outside the castle, and then they saw a certain troubled little girl speeding through the sky like lightning and from time to time the sound waves were compressed at high speed like a silver bell.
of laughter.
"Okay, so fast!"
"Is that the Firebolt?"
"I can hardly see her anymore..."
"Is that the Firebolt?"
Then, Harry, who stopped following the crowd and looked up to pursue the figure, couldn't help but exclaimed.
"I, I don't know either..."
"But it seems so?"
Ron scratched his head. He wanted to say that he didn't know much, but he was too embarrassed to say that because of his face.
"I know!"
"That is a special broom used in various official Quidditch games. It is the most perfect broomstick for competitions and represents the highest level of craftsmanship."
“The broom handle is made of ash wood, streamlined and exquisite, and treated with a polish as hard as diamond. Each broom twig at the end has been screened to achieve the perfect streamline shape.
Therefore, its balance and precision are unparalleled."
"It is said that the Firebolt can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and its braking device is even more charming. It is the first choice of any Quidditch player's dream, and it is the special broom in various official international Quidditch games.
."
"In comparison..."
"Potter, this Nimbus 2000 in your hand looks like a clumsy idiot?"
It was Malfoy of Slytherin who spoke. When he looked at the broom in Harry's hand, a trace of jealousy flashed across his face, but it soon turned into pride.
Because now someone else has a better broom, and of course he never misses any opportunity to mock Harry and Ron in front of him!
"But you don't even have a decent broom!"
"Harry also has the Nimbus 2000. Is yours the Comet 260?"
"Right!"
"The person above is Anne, and she is also our Gryffindor. Are you jealous?"
"We have Nimbus 2000 and Firebolt!"
"I've heard that the production of Firebolts is so low that even the Irish International Quidditch team has to queue up if they want to order..."
"Would you like to buy one too?"
Ron scorned the blushing Malfoy vigorously, and watched proudly as he choked and angrily left with his two followers.
"..."
But Harry didn't care about that.
Because, looking at the lightning-fast figure in the sky, and then looking at the Nimbus 2000 in his hand, he just felt that his newly unwrapped broom suddenly felt a little smelly.
No wonder, no wonder Anne rejected Professor McGonagall's kindness before. It turns out that she actually has channels to buy better brooms?
Thinking of this, while he was envious and amazed, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.
Otherwise!
After all, the students couldn't look at the figure and the firebolt in the sky for long, because a certain troubled little girl was quickly shouted down by an angry Professor McGonagall, and then grabbed her broom.
, took her to Gryffindor's Head of House, including her broom.
The students who besieged them were naturally dispersed directly by Professor McGonagall.
"Annie..."
"Is this why you refused my offer to buy you Nimbus 2000?"
"How can you get such a good broom?"
Looking at the Firebolt on the table, even Professor McGonagall couldn't help but marvel at it, without concealing the amazement in his eyes.
It's similar to how Muggles look at cars, that is, supercars.
Although, the Nimbus 2000 is also very good, but in terms of materials, acceleration, maximum speed, flexibility, ease of operation and stability, the two are not at the same level at all. Therefore, seeing such a broom,
Even she, the vice-principal, was somewhat surprised and surprised.
"yes!"
(︶)
"It just cost a little more Galleons."
(^▽^)
Anne said modestly, but did not say how much more she spent.
Anyway, she would definitely not say that she sent a letter yesterday to a goblin in Gringotts who was responsible for external business, and explained in the letter what she wanted to do and the reward she was willing to pay, and the other party sent her a letter today.
The broom was sent to her, it was really efficient!
From this point alone, she had to admit that, apart from being a little greedy, those goblins did have many other advantages.
However, Anne has no regrets about the incident at Gringotts!
Because there are two different things between her taking the initiative to give money to them to do things for her and the other party trying to steal her money. She can give it, but they can't steal it. That's a matter of principle.
"I see……"
"More Galleons?"
He nodded, but Professor McGonagall's focus was obviously not on the price.
After all, she herself knows that the price of Firebolts is very unusual. She can afford two Nimbus 2000, but she absolutely cannot afford one Firebolt. It's not that she can't afford it, but it will make her heartbroken and sad.
I just can't make up my mind about that. After all, Nimbus 2000 is already pretty good in inter-college competitions.
Then, she thought about it for a while, and then warned Anne earnestly:
"In short, having a good broom is a good thing, I have no objection!"
"only……"
"Annie, can you stop showing off?"
"You must also know that according to the school's regulations, first-year students are not allowed to play with brooms, nor are they allowed to bring brooms to school..."
"I'm already under a lot of pressure when I ask the principal to make an exception and let you join the team. If you continue to act like this, the other deans will have objections."
"Can you understand what I said?"
Of course, Mag didn't mind that Annie got the Firebolt. She might even be a little bit happy in her heart?
After all, she really wanted Gryffindor to win once!
But the problem is: as she just said, if she is too ostentatious and arouses the vigilance and worry of the deans of other colleges, and then collectively puts pressure on Dumbledore to withdraw the decision to allow first-year students to join the team
If so, then Gryffindors would feel uncomfortable.
"But!"
(||￢▽￢)
"I'm not showing off..."
(˙o˙)
"The owl just brought the broom. People always want to try it, right?"
(ì_í)
"The school is so big!"
(ノ△.)
"You will be seen wherever you fly, right?"
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
Anne said a little innocently and helplessly.
Because she really didn't mean to show off on purpose, she just didn't hide it on purpose. Who knew there were so many knowledgeable people in the school who would spread the word after seeing her good stuff?
"..."
However, Professor McGonagall shook her head, indicating that she did not quite believe Anne's nonsense.
"Forget it, since I bought all the brooms, I won't say anything more. Just give me some snacks during the competition."
"only……"
"One more thing!"
"Can you please stop letting your pet, that is, your panda, bully Mrs. Norris of Filch?"
"Filch has complained to me many times, saying that your panda always bullies his cats, causing Mrs. Norris to do less night patrols recently?"
Thinking about poor Filch and the other party's cat, which was said to be driven to the point of depression by a certain bear, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.
Normally, she would be too lazy to care about matters between pets, but since Filch had cried to her many times, since she had the chance today, she simply told her about it.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"If they find out, they will talk to Tibbers..."
(-)
But she didn't care whether Tibbs listened or not.
Anyway, Anne promised, she definitely didn't mean it, but who made the cat always come to make trouble for her in the first two nights?
Besides, she had tried very hard to restrain Tibbers, at least he didn't directly slap the annoying cat to death, right?
"It better be that way!"
No matter what, Professor McGonagall is also the head of Gryffindor, so she still had to warn and warn again:
"besides!"
"You go to the kitchen less at night. I will tell the house elves not to accommodate you so much..."
"If you're really hungry, can you bring some snacks back after dinner?"
Although she does not monitor the students and lounges of her college all the time, it is not difficult for her to know the situation in front of her, whether it is from the house goblins, Filch, certain ghosts, or the Fat Lady.
What did the little guy do on certain nights?
However, in view of the other party's excellent results in the Transfiguration class and other subjects, coupled with the other party's age, and the fact that running to the kitchen to find food was not a serious violation of discipline, she reluctantly turned a blind eye.
.
After all, teachers always look at good students with colored glasses. Even the unselfish dean like her would be a little doting on students with excellent grades like Anne.
"Got it!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
Anne had no intention of denying it and admitted it directly and openly.
"I haven't been to the kitchen very much in the past two days!"
()hey-hey
Yes, this is not just a matter of coping, but she has really started to go to bed early recently. If she is hungry in the middle of the night, she will take delicious food directly from the gourmet food in her pocket. She will no longer bother to run to the kitchen for the time being.
You know, she is always running around, has to actively avoid certain patrolling professors, has to try not to wake up her classmates, and can't easily use teleportation. She herself will also find it a bit annoying.
"Okay!"
"Take the broom back!"
"You can put it in the lounge or in the broom shed, but it cannot be used during non-training and non-game times!"
"The influence is not good, do you understand?"
After a few final words of instruction, Professor McGonagall picked up the Firebolt on the table and handed it to Anne.
"Uh-huh!"
(o▽)o
"It's just for fun..."
(￣▽￣)~*
"Goodbye Professor McGonagall!"
(｀)
As she spoke, Annie grabbed the Firebolt, and directly under Professor McGonagall's distressed and horrified gaze, she grabbed the end of the broom and dragged it across the floor and ran out so quickly, not even worrying that it would be damaged by the drag and wear.
That precious broom?
"!!"
"this kid"
